The Gates of Zion
My walls are battered and broken
My gates have burned to rust
My wounds are angry and open
And dreams lie in the dust
And foreign kings
Have plundered me
And dragged away my heart
But there is a word of prophecy
The King of love will come to me!
Let the gates of Zion
Let the gates of Zion
Let the gates of Zion
Be open to You
Be open to You
O Lord, You've seen my affliction
You've heard my cries of fear
My eyes will see Your salvation
Redemption's drawing near
My Shepherd-King
You comfort me
And wipe away my tears
There is a word of prophecy
The King of kings will reign in me!
Let the gates of Zion
Let the gates of Zion
Let the gates of Zion
Be open to You
Call out to the holy city
"Your warfare is through!"
And the Father who loves you
Jerusalem
Has a double portion for you
Let the gates of Zion
Let the gates of Zion
Let the gates of Zion
Be open to You
Let the gates of Zion
Let the gates of Zion
Let the gates of Zion
Be open to You
Let the gates of Zion
Let the gates of Zion
Let the gates of Zion
Be open to You
Be open to You
(Open wide the gates of Zion)
Be open to You
Be open to You
(Open wide the gates of Zion)
My gates have burned to rust
My wounds are angry and open
And dreams lie in the dust
And foreign kings
Have plundered me
And dragged away my heart
But there is a word of prophecy
The King of love will come to me!
Let the gates of Zion
Let the gates of Zion
Let the gates of Zion
Be open to You
Be open to You
O Lord, You've seen my affliction
You've heard my cries of fear
My eyes will see Your salvation
Redemption's drawing near
My Shepherd-King
You comfort me
And wipe away my tears
There is a word of prophecy
The King of kings will reign in me!
Let the gates of Zion
Let the gates of Zion
Let the gates of Zion
Be open to You
Call out to the holy city
"Your warfare is through!"
And the Father who loves you
Jerusalem
Has a double portion for you
Let the gates of Zion
Let the gates of Zion
Let the gates of Zion
Be open to You
Let the gates of Zion
Let the gates of Zion
Let the gates of Zion
Be open to You
Let the gates of Zion
Let the gates of Zion
Let the gates of Zion
Be open to You
Be open to You
(Open wide the gates of Zion)
Be open to You
Be open to You
(Open wide the gates of Zion)
